Due to the devastating oil spill now hitting the shorelines of Louisiana, this family had to bring their own baby pools (and plumbing system?!) to avoid getting in the contaminated water.

Editor's note: This is a terrible situation that is not funny in anyway and is really sad. Anywho...

Wouldn't you consider just NOT going to the beach that day? Rather than schlepping around your own baby pools?

Or, easier still, why not just bring some clean fresh sand into your backyard, where the baby pools already are, since you are clearly only going to be able to play with the sand anyway?

To me, this is a serious case of too much motivation. I'd just make my kids watch TV until the spill is cleaned up, or trick them into a back scratching competition where I'm the only judge and recipient.
